This Christmas many of us will receive gifts as well as give them. But what are the qualities that make a Christmas gift great? Is it the price? Quality? The thought put into it? We invite you this Christmas to join us as we discover the BEST GIFT EVER!

King Herod had the greatest gift of all time right under his nose. Yet, his pride, insecurity, and selfishness wouldn't allow him to accept it. When we accept Jesus it means we must reject something else. What will you do with Jesus this Christmas season?

There are some gifts that everyone needs but no one really gets to excited about. The same was true with the very first Christmas. Jesus was the gift that everyone needed, but he wasn't the gift that everyone wanted.

The Church doesn't want something from you. We want something for you. When you experience financial freedom, it not only helps your life today. It frees you up to impact future generations in your own family and beyond.

We live in a world that is obsessed and fascinated with what is "trending." However, as followers of Jesus we want to invest our lives in things that never go out of style. In this message we discover that in a "trendy" world the best things in life are "timeless."

So if there is a God, and he has a plan for our lives, why does it seem to be so difficult to figure out? The answer to that question might be simpler than you think. And, for those moments when it seems confusing, there’s actually a shortcut to finding God’s will that we’ll share with you.

Many people read the Old Testament (the first part of the Bible) only to be shocked by the violence they see, even some, apparently, sanctioned by God. Why did God order the slaughter of children? Why would God support war? There are answers...

Many people struggle to believe in a God who allows tragedy to happen. In the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew and major flooding in our area Pastor Tim brings a timely message that God can bring something good out of anything that is bad.

One of the greatest objections to the existence of God is this: If God is loving, why does he allow good people to suffer? Many world religions tackle this question with different answers. Christianity’s is unique, as God responds not with information, but with something far more profound.

You probably have questions. You wish God would answer now. If anyone had questions that deserved to be answered, it was Job, who lost everything. He finally gets a chance to ask his questions directly to God and learned something that completely changed his questions.

Christians should lovingly and charitably use politics as a way to promote the welfare of their community.

Listeners must accept (“catch”) the Word of God and let it take root in their life. What kind of receiver will you be? The Intercepted, the Butter-Finger, the Fumbler, or the Dependable?

Parents are often so busy providing for their children that they don't make time for them. Thankfully, Jesus modeled for us three "T's" every child needs from their parents that will change the course of their lives.

Disciplining our children is never easy but it's a vital part of being a parent. When we discipline, as God disciplines, we can know that it's in the best interest of our children.

Being a parent is difficult, yet God's Word has plenty to say about how to raise kids who love and follow Jesus.

When God tests his children his purpose is to prove that our faith is genuine and real. But God doesn't test us because he doesn't know how strong we are. He tests us because we don't know how strong we are. It's in these times of testing we learn that God is with us and for us.

In this message Pastor Ryan interviews the Williamson family who God has called to full-time mission work in Guatemala.

We have all sinned an fallen short of the glory of God. Fortunately, Jesus is a friend of sinners and came to address our mess.

Life is full of interruptions. We make our plans only to have them interrupted by the circumstances of life. Yet, even when things don't go our way, we can trust that Jesus is still in control and walking with us.

We all fall short and many Christians believe that God is perpetually disappointed with them. But because of what Jesus did for us on the cross - he considers us friends and children.

Daniel stood firm in his convictions despite cultural pressures to compromise. His lasting impact on Babylon came not from what he did, but from what he didn't do.
